Believe it or not, the mainland states are not the only ones getting a piece of the multi-billion dollar unclaimed funds bonanza. Hawaii unclaimed money has now reached the huge amount of 130 million dollars! The best thing is, this money isn’t a gamble, citizens are either due a claim or they are not, and if they are, the only obstacle standing between them and their lost cash is the knowledge of how to locate the money.
Of the dozens of potential sources of HI unclaimed funds, the Department of Budget and Finance lists the most common varieties as contents of safe deposit boxes, stock certificates, uncashed checks, and dormant (no activity for 5 years) checking and savings accounts.
HI continues to have a huge amount of money remaining unclaimed due to the fact that people simply have not accepted the reality of unclaimed funds. Too often people assume missing money is a scam, based on the old “there’s no such thing as free money” so many times. Among those few who are aware of these forgotten funds, most are not informed about the right way to perform a complete search for them.
Even for those few who have been able to track down their funds, the state of HI has them jumping through so many hoops to prove they are who they say they are, that they are very often left not reunited with their money, despite the fact that they know that it’s there. HI insists that owners of unclaimed funds to have a number of identifying documents as evidence that they are the rightful owners of the cash, and to prove that they in fact lived at the last known addresses listed in the records they have on file. The moral of the story is that if you are attempting to take back lost money in HI, keep records as diligently as possible, or the process of taking your money back might be more of a headache than it’s worth.
Aside from having a hard time proving their identities to the state, citizens of HI have a number of problems that can inhibit their unclaimed asset searches. For example, most Hawaiian’s who have previously resided in any other state usually do not realize that the state of HI would have absolutely no record of any lost funds from any other state. So if someone living in HI once resided in Ohio, they would need to search Ohio’s records, or the records of any other state they’d resided in.
Beyond just reaching outside of the Hawaiian Islands to track down money owed to them, a lot of people still have trouble finding their money because they simply do not know how to go about their search within the state. One of the largest problems is that people often search only one time and then never revisit the matter again. The issue with doing this, is the fact that any monies that have notbeen handed over to the state, because their dormancy periods have not expired, will not show up in any state records, because the state does not have any idea that they exist. Many times even after the assets have been handed over, the state hasn’t added the listing to their unclaimed funds list, so once again, a state record search would be fruitless. In both of these cases, a searcher could try to search the next day, week or month, and find their record, but the majority of people just quit after a single search.
For more tips on overcoming issues that often prevent searchers from claiming their unclaimed funds, Hawaiian citizens would benefit greatly from seeking help from an unclaimed funds expert to aid them traveling through the maze of taking back what already belongs to them.
